#Gigabyte standard ahci 1.0 serial ata controller driver drivers#
To be sure, all you've really suggested is that I revert to IDE mode and/or reinstall Windows from scratch and stick to the default drivers from MS. However, you're not exactly offering up anything I haven't already mentioned. I did read your posts and I'm always down with feedback. Maybe I'll try something else and post the results. I haven't tried any other apps that do that. If anyone finds a solution that makes the SMART data readable to a monitoring app that'd be super. I imagine it works fine with everything set to Native IDE but, screw that.Īnyways, I hope my first-world suffering over this idiotic insistence on my part to run SpeedFan helps someone else avoid the same garbage. I see the SMART list go flyin by on POST in the AMD AHCI listings but, apparently, you don't get to read that SMART data from the OS using this board in this configuration (I do have SMART enabled in BIOS btw). Now SpeedFan runs without the /nosmartscan switch. I don't have anything eSata right now as it is.

I wonder why it still has a duplicate entry for "Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller"? Well, turns out that's the eSata controller. Default Win7 drivers for this board showed up in device manager like this:Īfter chipset installation it looks like this: Something I really don't understand here. Result.Īny attempt to load up SpeedFan without the /NOSMARTSCAN switch causes a total hard lock, drive activity LED goes maxxed out and I can't do anything unless I hard reset the box.

The new AMD chipset stuff actually lists the 9xx series even though we all know it's just fancy-pants 890. I figure, I'm already in a test state, takes like 6min to reinstall Win7, what the hell, y'know? So I went ahead and DL'ed the latest stuff from AMD instead of the Gigabyte site and installed that. Like I said, this configuration is running without bombing on the SMART scan but with the win7 drivers, there's simply no SMART information at all! (I guess I didn't pay attention before to whether SMART was actually doing anything, I just remember the program loaded without locking up) Run SpeedFan and it actually runs! Woohoo right? Well. I figured "screw it", though and I'll try to suss this out. but no SMART information at all comes up. I went ahead earlier this evening and attempted to remove the drivers manually and it actually worked fine and, based on the testing I've done now, seems to indicate the removal gave me the same result that I get with a completely fresh installation of Win7. I will probably attempt another clean installation this weekend just to see what happens.
In fact, this is the first time I've EVER had a problem running that program. I always wind up installing SpeedFan and running CPU-Z after a system rebuild to make sure my temps are ok.

Like I said in my first post, SpeedFan worked fine at least once or twice prior to my install of the AHCI drivers from the Gigabyte site. I honestly don't know if the AMD chipset stuff is actually "gone completely" or if some remnant makes the issue persist. Attempting to access SMART bombs as I described.

Since it seems like the AHCI driver may be the issue, I removed them in the device manager and put back the "Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller" that was in place previously (the ones that are installed by default during Windows installation)
I did install the AHCI drivers given on the Gigabyte support site for this model mobo. I could do it again without too much suffering. I actually just did the clean installation a day or so ago. Outside of this issue, it seems like everything else on this new box is rock solid.Īnyone with similar issues? Possible fixes? Post-AMD driver install and everything went wonky. With the fresh Win7 install I had no trouble. I'm pretty certain this issue is AHCI driver related since I was able to run Speedfan as well as MyDefrag prior to installing the AHCI drivers for this motherboard. No refresh of display, no mouse movement, nada. If I run a defrag on my conventional HDDs (I don't do that on the SSD, of course) it's only a matter of minutes before the system goes into a total hard lock. This by itself is no big deal, I don't need the SMART stuff to be monitored but, I also like to keep my drives tidy with periodic sweeps of MyDefrag and I think the AHCI drivers are somehow borking things up there as well. If a background application is running during that lockup (monitoring GPU temp for instance) it will continue to run but I can't click anything, close anything, etc. When that lock occurs, I can still move my mouse around but, nothing else is reponsive at all. I cannot run Speedfan without the /nosmartscan switch or the system locks up when scanning AHCI. My system is as shown in sig, recently rebuilt with the CPU and mobo shown.
